Today is Election Day in the U.S. and there are a number of great battles going on across the country. But, you cannot be involved unless you vote – so, get out there!

My favorite election watch today (besides Casinos for Ohio) is the New York 23rd Congressional District. There, third-party Conservative Party candidate, Doug Hoffman, after a conservative Republican revolt, is the main candidate running against the Democrat. The original Republican candidate, Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava, has come out in support of Democrat Bill Owens and against Hoffman.

That prompted some really virulent attacks on Scozzafava by the talk show folks, including Limbaugh who stated, “we can say that she’s guilty of widespread bestiality. She has screwed every RINO in the country.” Nice. I also love Doug Hoffman’s website where he decries his opponent as a “Nancy Pelosi Democrat who has marshaled ACORN and the labor unions to get-out-the-vote on his behalf.”

So, to tie all of this back to business insurance, I am pretty sure that Mr. Hoffman would not support efforts at health insurance reform should he be elected.
